How to reduce operating costs related to container cleaning?

The majority of transport operators face challenges related to the costs of cleaning the interior of a container when transporting sticky, liquid, or food waste, among others.

Transporting these types of waste incurs significant costs and downtime, taking into account various factors:

  • The cost of interior cleaning
  • Operator downtime
  • container and truck downtime
  • Round trips to the cleaning station
Once waste adheres to the container interior, it becomes difficult to remove. For instance, when it comes to concrete waste, operators often resort to using a jackhammer inside the container to remove embedded material. During this time, the container and the operator remain immobilized, resulting in reduced profitability due to decreased rotation cycles.

If the container is not cleaned properly:

Depending on the type of waste, the container's volume can be substantially reduced, and the rotation cycles become less profitable. The container will deteriorate faster and have a shorter lifespan compared to a well-maintained container.
Another aspect is customer satisfaction! Presenting a clean container to your client leaves a positive impression about your company. Your client will appreciate being able to utilize the full container volume. Conversely, a poorly maintained container might convey negligence, and if the client finds a thick layer of waste, they might feel unable to utilize the container's full capacity.

To address these substantial costs and protect your containers, OTEXIO has developed a custom solution: PROTECSKIP® – a protective container inliner.
